This is going to come off as abrasive (out of context it sounds pretty bad), but: I've never understood why progress should be sacrificed because 'someone loses a job.' Idealistically, this indicates a problem with society - that people have to keep toiling away at automatable jobs for the sake of earning enough to live on. Practically, this is going to happen at some point sooner or later once it becomes commercially profitable to do so and enough players are in the market. Some of the greatest inventions have come out of the most meaningless original intentions.
